Religion:
10% of Faith

Q. There are ten people from around the world in a room. Each claims to have an intuitive certainty in his or her own beliefs about God. Since the ten don't agree about God, nine of them are wrong, and one of them (at most) is right. Each claims to be the one that's right, and to know with a knowledge beyond human reason that he or she is right. How do you tell which one of them is actually right?

 

A. The one of them that's you is right. The other nine just think they're right.
